The beginning of summer brings many things to the atmosphere table- heat, colds & flus and bright coloured hues (clothes, fingers n toes). So far I've experienced the first 2: in Florida temps are between 92-97 degrees and I'm currently getting over an unwanted cold. But hey that doesnt mean I can't incorporate the third!!
GLITZ
Glitter eyeshadows, mani and pedis. For eyeshadows Lancome, Sephora and H.I.P. already have a type out. HIP is more on the affordable side. (TIP) Or if buying eyeshadow isn't in your current budget you can buy a glitter eye pencil for way cheaper and either 1- use it only on the lids or use on the lids then swipe a layer of translucent shadow to create the shimmery effect for less!
I mentioned shimmery nail colours last year but this time it's more your tips than the your nail colour. For summer even though bright colours are hitting the shelves by OPI, Essie & Sally, WHITE nails seems to be the trend in Hollywood. Then they tip it off with a glitzy lacquer.- think Opposite French!
GETS (for less)
maxi dresses, savory summer sandals, crochet hat,s crochet beach bags! These are some of the summer-gets to grab. Maxi dresses are great for any shape and size and can be worn casually or u can glam it up by pairing it with pumps or wedges and chunky jewelry. That alone spells BEACH!!! (TIP) For curvy girls, try a maxi dress with lots of patterns or prints which takes away from extra curves u may not want noticed! Hats for summer assists with NOT exposing yourself to all the harmful sun-rays. Crochet just offers coverage and more air flow. Crochet bags are just for style.
GLAM
Think LWD (little white dress), killer heels, pink lipstick, big 60s hair. Believe it or not all of these have rolled in for the summer. Along with bright gem stone colours, you also have the white dress that have been making appearances. You can pair it with nude pumps and gold accessories or you can ditch the pumps and go for some coloured-killer heels. Pink lips is best incorporated when that is the only colour showing- MAC, YVES ST. LAURENT & LANCOME have great pinky colours to suit your complexion. Big hair is all about bumping it and brining in the major curl factor. Check out shots of actresses back in the 60s and see how they glammed up. (TIP) Try an LDB (little black dress) with killer heels and bold pink lips!
